croozelyfe Posted July 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sorry for yet another drink package question. We will be on Explorer at the end of August, sailing to Alaska. I am wondering if it is possible to by a drink package per day instead of all 7 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can purchase for a partial cruise onboard, but it must be for at least 4 days, and it has to last until the end of the cruise.

constable145 Posted July 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Not normally but always subject to change... They've been pretty consistent on this policy since the packages arrived 3 years ago. I've never heard of anyone being able to buy the package by the day. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted July 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They will usually offer a 10 drink card for $79.00 plus gratuity, so it comes out to a little over $100.00, but I don't think they offer it until later in the cruise. Maybe day 4 or 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not use the word "usually" either to apply to the existence of such a card or its price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted July 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2016 On grandeur in feb they allowed us to buy a drink package per day. I think it was day 4 or so. You could buy it for day 4 then skip a day or two and buy it on another day if you wanted. The bars were pretty empty the whole cruise. I believe the food and beverage manager needed it to help with the poor salea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBE on the last couple of days they will sell a drink card for a flat rate that gets you like 10 drinks. it will have a very slight discount on the average price of a drink.

On a recent 11 night cruise they were still trying to sell drink packages on day 10 with 2 days left. Can't answer for the Alaska route what they will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there was a WCTU convention on board? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted July 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Only happened on the grandeur this past feb 9 day sailing. Have never seen this offered before or after that sailing. Believe me i was shocked. I just bought one day at about 6pm. Made good use of the one day premium drink package for 2 dinner seatings and a sea day of drinking.
